Yet these factors are absolutely critical to being able to run or jog properly.

Breathing - try to breathe in through your nose and out through the mouth.

It seems obvious but for many this is a challenge and most people don't breath deeply enough.

As your cardio system lifts in intensity it will demand more oxygen and you will breath harder - try to find a rhythm.

Focus on a breath in with every second left (or right) foot contact.

This helps to build a robotic process and allows you to run or jog further.

¦ Week 2 training

Complete the same training regime as last week with three sessions, but this time start with five one-minute intervals focusing solely on your breathing and stride.

Run faster than you would at normal pace to raise your cardio level, take a 30 sec break between each interval.

Walkers: 45 mins walk

Joggers: 30 mins jogging

Runners: 40mins run.
